Nuzzi is like Trump in this sense: the worst thing about America is not that someone that awful exists, the worst thing is that much of the press promotes and normalizes it for clicks.

The reason that we reporters are focused so intensely on the L'affair Nuzzi is that, as Olivia notes, it is a basically apocalyptic scandal in the most literal sense of that term: a dropping of masks. It's acting as confirmation of every hideous story anybody's ever told about political journalists
this was bad before, but these are the most troubling and serious allegations you can make about a journalist. if they’re true, i genuinely can’t think of a worse scandal in the history of political journalism. devastating to our industry, to public trust as a whole, and to everyone in its orbit

Earlier this week someone compared me to Adolf Eichmann, the architect of the Nazi mass murder of 13 million people, because I said that left anti-YIMBYs hate yuppies, developers, and neighborhood change more than high housing costs and homelessness.

evil real estate developers were *the* villain in so much kids' entertainment from the 80's, and that's transparently where this ideology came from. they imprinted on it, like baby birds.

People will die, and are currently dying, because RFK was granted one of the most powerful megaphones in the country. Two people who could have thrown barriers in front of his climb decided not to; there's a sex scandal here but it is not the biggest scandal.

on top of everything else, nuzzi has the sensibilities of your most embarrassing friend. a guy alternates between saying he wants her to have his children and ghosting her, and she's wringing her hands trying to figure out if they're really in love

This season my mind turns to all the people who are at their first game up there having paid way, way over the odds for a ticket and hotel and have smashed their credit card in the club shop. Then they watch them not just get beat, but be absolutely shite.

I mean, it’s not like RFK. Jr. used his vanity campaign to propel himself into a position of great authority or something. Nothing to see here

yeah it’s bad that Lizza has been sitting on this for so long but also how cursory and inept was that Vox investigation that not only managed to miss the biggest scandal in the history of American political journalism but affirmatively exonerated her bsky.app/profile/bkel...
So the editor of New York Magazine said there was no bias or ethical problems with Olivia's articles?

Does he still think that?

They should retract all of her stories

See also Ryan Lizza for sitting on this because it could make his personal life more complicated.
If this is true she should never work as a journalist again.

everyone knows the number one quality of rigorous, responsible journalism is waiting months and months to reveal urgently newsworthy information until it can cause the most harm in your personal vendettas

Writing about my wife’s naked political corruption like a Dan Brown novel
This is a lot, but (allegedly) Olivia Nuzzi sent a secret recorder with a sketch artist to tape Trump at Mar-a-Lago so she could feed campaign intel to RFK, where [pauses to take a breath] something Trump said about his assassination attempt “would shatter our understanding of recent history”??

This fallacy should henceforth be known as a Barro's Blunder.
Anyway, the world does not need another post dunking on Josh Barro. What it does need, is a word for the fallacy where you make up some weird stereotype about people, and then when it turns out they don't actually act that way, you think that's something strange about *them*.
